QUOTE(xsara @ Oct 9 2010, 10:11 AM) cellular data/3g/data roaming is using ur mobile data while the wifi is using ur home/starbuck isp to connect to internet. so mean just turn cellular data off....then it won't charge our data usage even we drop the wifi ?? so generally means if u on ur cellular data/data roaming/3g on means u will use ur mobile data to connect to internet whenever ur ip thinks it needed to connect to internet such as push notification/mms/email. actually u can just off ur cellular data only. because i search internet the cellular data is switch on/off to ur mobile internet while data roaming is when you are connected to a network other than the one your SIM is for, often in another country. reference:http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11794918 3g just makes ur edge speed faster into 3g speed or on the other words....off cellular data = cut off Internet usage ?

QUOTE(johnlcp @ Nov 7 2010, 09:48 PM) I just got my iphone, i m worry about the shock bill in the coming month. I am with the Maxis iValue1, 1GB . u have 1GB .....divide by 30day = u almost got 30mb per day to use.....My question is, if I on the facebook, yahoo mail and MSN all the days non stop, will my data usage exceed 1GB? should I turn off all the notification or push? if u are on facebook + keep viewing Picture.....it easily can reach 30mb per day.....if surfing forum with load picture...it will eat up ur data quite fast also.......but if surfing lowyat forum / MSN / Yahoo mail....then u hard to reach 30mb per day i always on my notification push on facebook , ping chat ......it won't eat up ur data very much de..... LOAD image = data use more Download / upload = data use more i using le 10++ day with email / facebook / lowyat forum , not even 100mb yet =.="..... |

jailbreak phone?
Added on December 17, 2010, 12:01 am QUOTE(alvia @ Dec 16 2010, 12:46 PM) Sometimes I also dun ever understand how they count it... Every month I checked my unbilled amount not exceed than 155 but when the bill came out 200++ ,I called customer services before and they told me a lot of reason said I use sms a lot some said I use data bla bla... But one thing is they told me unbilled amount is mean those tat I used not include freebies...kinda blur here...can someone tell me what is unbilled amount? Ivalue 2 = RM155Free call 667 min Free data 2 GB Free sms 400 SMS <-- For Maxis only , this one must becareful , because alot of maxis user 012/017 port in to Digi / Celcom , sometime u won't really get FREE rebate even u sms those 012/017 who are already port to digi >.< (last month i also kena 12 sms with 012 that port to digi , lucky charge me RM1.20 only , stil acceptable) Free mms 40 MMS <--- same with sms call rate 12 sen/min <-- after u finish ur 667min sms 10 sen/SMS to any network 667 x 0.15 sen = RM100.05 / another RM55 = ur data + sms + mms data/sms/mms is not included the UNBILL amount , the unbill amount is only ur CALL time , which mean ur UNBILL amount can't exceed RM100 when u check with *100# or www.maxis.com.my , it will be RM55 + ur unbill amount = Total of the bill u need to pay on the month For ivalue1 RM100/month , ur limit for unbill amount is RM50 only NOT RM100 , if over mean ur bill will come with DATA charge = RM50 + unbill amount p/s: correct if i'm wrong k , because i get this information from MEP stuff , i already follow this method for 2 month , so far it very accurate......never exceed my bill This post has been edited by chongkiatz: Dec 17 2010, 12:01 AM |

actually if u know how to track ur Data usage , it wont give u a shock bill , 4 of my family include me under ivalue1 never get shockbill within this 4 month
for the 1st month , control urself not using more than 30mb per day , because the 1GB data plan is not given with full month cycle , maybe u register ur iphone on 24/1/2011 , it will be 28/1/2011 for billing date , so for the 1st month it should be [1GB/31day] x 5 day(from 24~28) = 161MB , once u over 161mb , then u will be charge , hence u get shock bill.... so u better call up 123 to double confirm WHEN is ur Billing date , u can change the story =) if let say u know ur billing date is every month of 28th , so just reset ur data on 29th , and use it safely until the next month of 28th normally will get shockbill on the 1st month because alot of user dunno the BILLING date , so they over use the data and get charge higer This post has been edited by chongkiatz: Jan 25 2011, 12:28 AM |
